TTK was commissioned by digital music service DigiWaxx to customize some Nike Dunks with the company’s logo. The designer was given wide latitude to use his own colors and designs, resulting in the wild and colorful DigiWaxx Nike Dunks. You can find out more about the designer’s customs by heading to the TTK website linked here.
The DigiWaxx Dunks is stamped with the company’s blue logo on the heel. TTK matched the logo with a blue heel tag and laces to meet the client’s minimal requirements. DigiWaxx told TTK to do “his thing” and the designer obliged with a dark gray/light gray thumbprint pattern on the heel wrap and toe. The black middle panel and heel are cut apart by turquoise lines and gray spheres to add another layer of complexity to these customs. The DigiWaxx Dunks were completed with bright yellow Nike swooshes for yet another burst of color.
DigiWaxx got what it wished for in the DigiWaxx Nike Dunks as TTK turned chaos into sneaker art. The varying elements on the DigiWaxx Nike Dunks may seem incompatible at first but TTK knows how to tie together colors and patterns within a unified design.
Stizo Custom Kicks used the work of artist Takashi Murakami as inspiration for the Murakami Dunk High. Murakami’s Superflat style and KaiKai Kiki art studio have blurred the lines between commercial design, anime and museum art in recent years.

The Superflat style is as much a social commentary as an art form, using exaggerated expressions and childlike figures to criticize modern Japanese culture. Stizo accurately depicts Murakami’s signature style with big-eyed, open-mouthed figures on the exterior sides of both sneakers. The interior sides of the Murakami Dunk Highs were left relatively unscathed as a calming contrast to the aforementioned tempest of images.
Instead of letting the interiors alone, Stizo Custom Kicks added a few touches that show his ability to implement balanced designs. The Nike swooshes on the interior sides are rainbows of purple, burgundy and olive green to match colors used on the exteriors. The string of silver stars set against the black heel wrap is the calm before the storm on the outside edges. Stizo Custom Kicks did a great job representing a difficult art form on the Murakami Dunk Highs without sacrificing his sneaker art integrity.
Mizzee Customs was asked by a customer to turn some Nike Dunks into a shrine to the popular Marvel character Wolverine. The much-anticipated movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine dropped last Friday but Mizzee used the Ultimate X-Men version of Wolverine on these Dunks. These photos were found at the designer’s MySpace page linked here.
The left sneaker shows Wolverine in one of his berserker rages, holding his adamantium claws in anticipation of a battle. The right sneaker portrays Wolverine punching forward with his left set of claws while keeping his right claws back to counter his opponent’s next move. The interior side of the left shoe has the mysterious character barely visible in a dark room with a most of his face obscured by his shiny claws. Mizzee Customs went as far as engraving claw marks on the toe to simulate the battle scars created by Wolverine.
I liked the choice of the Ultimate Wolverine for these Nike Dunks rather than the traditional version of the character. Wolverine is an enigma to his friends and enemies, living in the underbelly of every place that he goes. The Ultimate Wolverine Dunk Highs show an honest version of this famed Marvel character for a diehard X-Men fan.
